-- June - August 2019

Got into speedrunning in June 2019 through RE2.
RE2 tut https://youtu.be/UYUUuK3bAP4?si=SqZtwxAoCEKqp-ly&t=1003

Discovered GDQ.
Run that got me into speedrunning:
Sonic GDQ 2019 by Dr FatBody

Decided to go for a WR in Alex Kidd

27th Aug Alex Kidd 13:25 https://youtu.be/iH8zlTFUi_g?si=7cS3ifw7EpDVGkRA
Run was beaten two weeks later by Strackel, but I knew I wanted to speedrun
at this point.

Moved on from Alex Kidd, wasn't sure which game to dedicate to, messed around
with Tomb Raider after watching a Beckski93 run at GDQ.

Was going for sub 245. Had mic coming in from webcam instead of actual mic
lol. Was one of the first streams I ever did.

04th Sep Lv 3 442 https://youtu.be/4lJS8t92GIM?si=0G-KjkqyIqUOx0c9
Was a really great run for how RNG dependant it is.

Would spend the next few weeks playing Tomb Raider getting decent times on
the first eight levels before starting to mess around with GE on the 26th
Sep, which is when I got 56 on my first session.

27th Sep Dam A 55 https://youtu.be/KiFD416Xzv4?si=MLxQa92A4CQMYkzS
Inspired by Spice to start playing. Very warm welcome from Eric and the OH
community. This was the 2nd session of running GE
Using Dazzle DVC 100, so really bad ghosting issues. Play on PAL until 31st
Oct

-- October 2019

01st Oct Dam A 54 https://youtu.be/VIRazWsH1E8?si=9oh-1NpGK75UlI3y
Took a good 40 hours or so, was a thrilling start to GE

01st Oct Runway A 24 https://youtu.be/0kkZ3gkPTJk?si=KNb87JCfNFPMGOxy
Same day as Dam 54, no self boosts

03rd Oct(?) Archives A 18 https://youtu.be/R3GmG_O-PBs?si=Lz5tWJPvhLFOiJmD
No video for the original 18, for some reason I deleted it and uploaded a
fast 18 that I got on the 6th. This is when I started streaming Goldeneye.

04th Oct "Sick Start" https://youtu.be/KvEfADlkaEY?si=1x9BhxBn1NjAgdc0&t=13
05th Oct "Door Warp" https://youtu.be/57nT-NyS3qI
07th Oct Archives A 17 https://youtu.be/KvEfADlkaEY?si=1x9BhxBn1NjAgdc0&t=13
Three failed 17s, this grind took it out of me. I honestly thought I might be
able to speed bully Spicy lol.
Same day get Cavs A 110.

Up until this point I was alternating between Goldeneye and Tomb Raider, the
last PB I got in TR was on the 9th Oct, which is when I stopped playing to
focus solely on GE.

10th Oct Depot A 27 https://youtu.be/5gS1P728D1g?si=ZFvmIIN699YFcp2B&t=12
Got 28 and 29 the day before.

10th Oct "Amazing A Complete" https://youtu.be/KiFD416Xzv4?si=MLxQa92A4CQMYkzS
11th Oct "choked" https://youtu.be/KiFD416Xzv4?si=MLxQa92A4CQMYkzS
12th Oct "2 frames too slow"
https://clips.twitch.tv/DreamyRepleteCurryFreakinStinkin
13th Oct Frigate A 25 https://youtu.be/tTQZ2-_gQGY?si=LOaNpraFRGp8-HFb&t=12
Started playing Frig A on the same day as Depot 27. Three days later I get
25, which was my first points on the rankings, worth 35 when achieved.

14th Oct Aztec A 156 https://youtu.be/uUB8BW08rGU?si=I-v-NmAyMn5ZeQKs
Next day spend playing Aztec Agent, spent 13 hrs in a single day playing cus
I was hooked, I was happy to land on sub 2 minutes

16th Oct Bunker 1 18 https://youtu.be/JBMnePMFFIs?si=R-iwPObBM5CcPC2g&t=12
8 hours is reasonable for B1 18 I think.

Spent the next few days messing around, got a Train A 133, Cradle A 40, B2 A
41, on 18th started grinding Frog SA

21st Oct Frigate SA 110 https://youtu.be/p0t7aJTQtMg?si=Kp5tnc4wCsqtS5tH&t=12
2nd points, worth 13 when achieved. The last PB I would get before getting an
NTSC cart.

31st Oct Dam A 53 https://youtu.be/o61x7RwMvY0?si=oiXERosT-eC6bum9&t=12
First serious grind. In true speedrun fashion I was sure it was another 54
lol. First time using 2.x. Received an unofficial warning in DM due to frame
drops.

-- November 2019

04th Nov Depot A 26 https://youtu.be/QlB_zIU3Usk?si=ABud9q7LTejeIuRA&t=12
Worth 24 pts when achieved. I was told I didn't need the boost, but I went
for it anyway. I immediately wanted to get it again without the boost lol.

The day after Depot 26 I got a Cavs A 106, then began the legendary Frigate
00 grind, which was the first +100 hr grind I did. At first I just wanted
points and done, but as I got better I decided I want something dope.

113 was the last time I PB'd on ENG playing Frig. Some time between 16th Nov
and 8th Dec I got the JP cart, my 112 was on JP. I also ordered a GVUSB on
19th Nov for £30.37, free p&p, over half price what it's selling for today.

Failed 110: https://youtu.be/VvuxZtwc8ok?si=_GSG4qbRsTNuJANq
9th Dec Frigate 00 108: https://youtu.be/f3pFiwWHzvo?si=NtitEpaKIDfAf5aF&t=12
Failed 106: https://youtu.be/ZbT85Ey2sDA?si=H0QuHkVgZHu_lqRE

The grind took over a month clocking in almost 150 hrs, and to this day I
have not had a rush quite like it. The most insane rush I've ever had playing
goldeneye.

This time bopped irie, Goose, Karl, along with a number of other top players,
and tied Ace's PB at that time. It was worth 86 pts when achieved.

There was a tease in Discord where I posted "It's Done", and nothing else
haha (show discord chat)

11th Dec Runway A 23: https://youtu.be/1HBbTFZZndA?si=Ztmj_kL-Hd0g_NRd
took less than 30 mins, and completes the Boring 4 +1.

Frigate gave me the confidence to get a WR, so I set my sights on Cradle. I
first wanted to get the 34 sweep.

16th Dec Cradle A 34 https://youtu.be/NdpF82S0Xjs?si=9ry7a44rOWwpWXSl&t=13
28th Dec Cradle SA 34 https://youtu.be/VGS5eY14CFY?si=bvqr7l8DhjOH16Gn&t=12
29th Dec Cradle 00 34 https://youtu.be/wYDo6GhdW2I?si=bp2ixiel5tsDzDPN&t=12
00 34 put me over 500 points

This proves that in theory, you could complete without killing trev.
